Maui, known as the “Valley Isle,” is the second-largest of the Hawaiian Islands and a world-renowned destination celebrated for its dramatic, diverse landscapes. The island is shaped by two massive volcanic peaks—the West Maui Mountains and the towering Haleakalā to the east. Along its coastlines, you’ll find everything from the crescent-shaped beaches of Wailea and Kapalua to the rugged, wind-whipped cliffs of the north shore. Whether taking in a sunrise from above the clouds at Haleakalā National Park or navigating the legendary, hairpin turns of the Road to Hana, the island offers a mix of microclimates, from lush rainforests to arid volcanic landscapes.
